New content is available today for the console-based Multiplayer Online Battle Arena, Guardians of Middle-earth.

According to VGA247, Bilbo Baggins and Bert the Troll will be available in today's Hobbit-themed offering of downloadable content, which also includes a Shire Map Skin for free.

Bilbo takes on the role of a Striker in the game and comes equipped with his famous Elvish blade, Sting. Bert, one of the troll trio that tried to eat Bilbo and company, acts as a Tactician and can chuck barrels that turn into flaming pits. The addition of these characters brings the total guardian roster to 24, with five more characters on the way.

Check out the video from Machinima below to see Bilbo and Bert in action.
